Terms of Use

Please read the following agreement carefully

     FLORIDAUCC, LLC (“FLORIDAUCC”), which entity has been approved by the Florida Department of State, is pleased to offer internet access to search this website for locating and searching the official records (e.g., initial financing statements, amendments, and termination statements) filed by third parties in the Florida Secured Transaction Registry (the “Registry”), as permitted by Chapter 679, Florida Statutes. By accessing the records, you agree to accept the terms and conditions set forth below:

FLORIDAUCC provides this website as a service to the public, pursuant to a contract with the Florida Department of State. In doing so, FLORIDAUCC seeks to provide up-to-date, accurate, reliable and complete information, but it cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of the information on this website primarily because the information is supplied by third parties. FLORIDAUCC uses reasonable efforts to properly process and file and index the information supplied by third parties. Any party filing or searching for a record has access to the Registry to verify the record was correctly filed.

The search function for this website utilizes a standard search logic that was provided by the Florida Department of State. The search feature called a “Compact Name” has been designated by the Florida Department of State as the standard search logic for searching the records in the Registry. The rules pertaining to that search logic can be found on the search screen. Those rules govern a user’s ability to locate filed records, so please refer to those rules when conducting a search of the records on this website. The search feature noted as an “Actual Name” search is a supplemental way to determine if an initial financing statement, amendment or termination statement has been filed for a particular person or entity. In addition, neither FLORIDAUCC nor the Florida Department of State represents or warrants that the search logic currently used for the Registry is the same as the search logic employed by other states or that its use will result in a one hundred percent (100%) error-free result.

This website and the filing and indexing of records is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, which may be different from the laws of other states and the Uniform Commercial Code. Please consult legal counsel if you have questions concerning these terms of use or the filing and indexing requirements of Florida law.

With respect to any mistake or error in inputting information into the database which precludes the subject initial financing statement or amendment from being found using the designated search logic, FLORIDAUCC’s liability shall be limited to correcting the mistake or error without charge upon written notification by a person or entity authorized to file the initial financing statement or amendment in question made within thirty (30) days of the subject filing. Neither FLORIDAUCC nor the Florida Department of State warrants this website will operate in an uninterrupted or error-free manner or that the website is free of viruses.
